Hello

Assume it works the same way, as with my Dimension 8400, right after you push the power button, you see a blue DELL logo on the screen, if you hit the F2 key exactly in this moment, you are in the Bios, and can change the power management settings.

The cooling fans on Dell Desktop run continously, unless the system is powered off.

I phones Dell tech support and they seemed to think that the fan running continuously is a problem. They are sending me a new tower. I would like to keep the one I have at the moment , as I have it set-up with all my programs, settings, etc. I did get in the BIOS, but couldn't find the proper Power Mgmt settings. Any other thoughts?

adamroy12,
Dageezerus is correct. That was a very bad call on the part of whoever you spoke with at Dell technical support. Your new system's fans are going to run continuously too.
